It’s simple. NY Jets Teddy Bridgewater has played better in NFL Preseason than Sam Darnold, whom the Gang Green took with the 3rd pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Brian Baldinger, who is my friend over at the NFL Network, disagrees.

He says that the Jets should start Darnold because they took him with the third pick. Under that logic, I should buy a fur coat and wear it in 80 degree weather just because it’s expensive! First, I would never buy a fur coat and second I would not use it in 80 degree weather! The fact is Teddy Bridgewater has outplayed Darnold in the NFL Preseason and upended the NY Jets QB plans.

Teddy Bridgewater Outplayed Sam Darnold In New York Jets Preseason Games

Teddy Bridgewater has been the run-away best quarterback over Darnold and Josh McCown. Several NFL observers have written that the Jets should start Teddy Bridgewater over Sam Darnold.

The Jets actually thought Teddy Bridgewater was going to be some expendable journeyman quarterback! How silly! Rather than be happy with having a rich stable of passers, the Jets being the Jets have to make it a zero sum game.

Baldinger is wrong. Darnold is the bad choice. He will not win for the Jets because he is not ready for the regular season speed of the game. Teddy Bridgewater comes ready to play and lead. He’s a proven leader. Let Teddy Bridgewater go to work.
